BEFORE DAWN Blu-Ray Review: Jordon Prince-Wright’s Serviceable WWI Epic

Before Dawn is a new WWI epic drama, directed by Jordon Prince-Wright who co-wrote the script with Jarrad Russell. The film stars Levi Miller as Jim Collins, the son of an outback sheep farmer who decides against the wishes of his father to join the ANZAC Corps in the fight against the Nazis in France. The result is a cataclysmic journey of tragedy, dark reflection and bravery chronicling the near-900 day endeavor as we watch Jim tackle the dogs of war, measuring his own courage and ideal school of thought against an environment encumbered by a survival-first instinct. This aspect of the story is explored aptly through brewing tension between Jim, and Thomas Nickles (Travis Jeffery) following a mission gone wrong resulting in the death of Travis’s brother, Harry. The impasse eventually reaches a boiling point under the stewardship of their superiors, including the dogged Sgt. Beaufort (Myles Pollard), even […]

TULSA KING SEASON 2 Trailer: The hit series returns to Paramount+

The series created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) and Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) was a pleasant surprise for audience and critic on its first season for its undeniable high quality standards.

UPRISING Teaser Revealed For The Busan-Selected Joseon Thriller Starring Gang Dong-Won

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen an explosive Korean period actioner. For this, I guess director Kim Sang-man saw us coming and knew well what to do about it, and that’s where Netflix has been chiming in of late with a look at his new film, Uprising. The streamer teased the flick with a pair of stills earlier this month and now we have an official teaser to help start things off nicely ahead of its October 11 launch.

eVIL SUBLET Review: Jennifer Leigh Houston Tackles Ghastly New York City Living In Allan Piper’s Hyperbolic, But Delightful Indie Horror Romp

eVil Sublet will release on all digital platforms in North America on October 1 from Lion Heart Distribution. You don’t always have to “reinvent the genre” to make a good movie. Most times, you just need to tell a good story, and some of those stories will be acquired tastes. Alas, as someone not particularly drawn to horror, I would say the biggest appeal for me with a film like eVil Sublet is more ado with its New York indie aesthetics. It’s a horror movie teeming with lighthearted energy aplenty to accommodate its more macabre and grotesque elements. These aspects are also more foundational to the film’s conceptual growth, overall packaging and thematic delivery as a ghost story set in one of the most bustling cities in the U.S., one with a nice little cherry on top upon the final shot. How so? Well, to start, eVil Sublet is quick […]
